From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90's. Appropiately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads ("Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You") and up-tempo dance numbers ("I Want You", "The Animal Song") with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade. Debut: In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single "‎I Want You." The single was a hit in Australia and became the year's highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S.

A Thousand Words Lyrics

Savage Garden

We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
And send it back again
Ill bear the cost shed my skin call
You up and then
Ill say the words out loud
Chorus
You could resurrect a thousand
Words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the
Reasons why I dont need you
Anymore
Time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I wont go down on what I said
I wont retract convictions read
I may perplex but Im not blind
So take all this noise into your brain
And send it back again
Ill bear the cost shed my skin call
You up and then
Ill say the words out loud
Chorus
Ill say the words out loud Ill say a
Thousand words or more
Manipulation fabrication
Conversation annihilation
Ill say a thousand words or more
Damnation frustration elevation
Procreation
Ill say a thousand words or more
Repeat chorus
